The True Gospel of Grace! (Good news)✨ [1 Corinthians 15:1-4]🎉 Jesus Christ shed His blood for ALL of our sins past, present, and future. He was buried, resurrected and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures. We are saved by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ Alone, not of our works, so nobody can boast! It is Amazing Grace, something we did not and cannot earn, and something we do not deserve. God gave His only begotten son, (uniquely born of God, eternally existing before His human birth) that whosoever (anyone) believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life. How to be saved? 1. Admit you are a sinner, in need of the saviour, Jesus Christ. 2. The moment you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone to save you from death, you are sealed until the day of redemption. You are protected, cannot lose your salvation, justified by the blood of Christ, and Rapture Ready! (which is going to happen at any moment!) 3. Your Faith is counted for righteousness! The Holy Spirit will indwell in you, lead you, guide you, minister to you, encourage you, speak to you, teach you and change you - if you let Him! TODAY is the day of Salvation! Trust Jesus Christ Today! Amen and God bless❤️

[@Theactivepsychos]

Here’s my experience. You have to reintroduce the foods that you have removed to see what you react to so that you can figure out what you can eat. Meat should still be a big factor but I can now eat lots of foods I removed. It’s an elimination diet to figure things out.

I started Carnivore for many reasons on 12th December 2019. 4 years later, I haven't looked back. Depression gone. Epilepsy - seizures now fully under control and no more meds! No more panic attacks or anxiety attacks, gum disease is gone, skin tags are all gone, 70lb fat loss, no more brain fog, what seems like unlimited energy, great skin and hair, I'm genuinely happy!! I feel awesome every day!!! And most importantly, I feel closer to Father God than I ever did in my life!! And all because I changed my diet?? I wish my parents had known about this when I was a child suffering from epilepsy. My life could have been so much different.... but alas.. I know about Carnivore now. Thank God for that. Also, all my life I thought I was bisexual. There was a confusion about my sexuality. I dated women a lot. Fast forward to Carnivore, I had to address why I felt so sick in my life. So I did that and those feelings went away too!! 😮 !! I no longer feel that way about women. And this leads me to believe that the amount of rubbish we eat - even those of us coming from a diet that we thought was healthy (I was coming from a bodybuilder's diet - 6 small plant-based meals a day) is crashing our hormones to the point where some of us don't know who we are anymore, and this is not good. In my eyes, this is very bad, and a lot of this is targeted towards children's diets, we see now, some of our more sensitive children and babies and youngsters and young adults going through things that aren't normal and we're all wondering why.. especially with the extra added vaccines. We are being poisoned. We all need to get back to meat-based diets - Carnivore being the absolute. We all need to get the word out so we can all get our health back. Take our health back.

[@Mercurie3]

That's incredible. I guess once you start going in the right direction a lot of other unexpected blessings come your way. Makes me wonder if a lazy persons Carnivore diet would work okay. 'Mostly Meat'. Might as well give it a try!

@@roshinvarghese6879 my fault when I said diet I don’t mean as in eat a specific type of this food and cut out this food. Such as cutting out carbs or only eating meat. I mean eat a balanced diet as in combination of foods. So the idea is that there are no bad foods only bad food combinations. If you eat 1500 calories of Twinkie’s then that’s a bad food combination and you’ll be tired. But if you eat 1500 or 2000 calories worth of a balanced “diet” then you’ll be fine and not feel bad. You can eat ice cream or whatever so long as you generally stay close to your calories range. Humans were made to eat protein’s, fats and carbs. They all perform different actions for the body.

[@JakubFerenc1911]

Carnivore diet is not really about protein as such, it is about fat and the metabolism running on ketones and exo and endogenous fat storage. Also, Jordan misleads people that brain can run on protein as a fuel instead of carnohydrates. Not really, brain can run only on two things: carbohydrates or ketones. Jordan would be right saying that brain does prefer ketones as a fuel. Keto diet is currently being tested on animals as a treatment for cancer as well. Why? Cancer cells like all cells need energy. Healthy cells get energy from respiration (oxidative phosporylarion). But cancer cells have damaged mitochondria and cannot respire, so they get energy from anearobic process: fermentation. And cancer cells can ferment two things glutamine and glucose. What is glucose? Carbohydrates. So to stop cancer you need to get rid of two fuels for cancer: 1) carbohydrates - ideally keto diet or fasting 2) glutamine - this one is tough because all cells need glutamine, so you need to follow a protocol of inhibiting glutamine for both healthy and cancer cells and the returning to normal glutamine levels. It is dangerous when done wrongly. Currently, there is no easy way to inhibit glutamine. If you can do that, you can improve survival rate of cancer patients. My mother has glioblastoma, most agressive brain cancer, diagnosed since September 23 after epileptic seizure. We have decided to try keto diet in addition to chemo and radio therapy. There is no cure for glioblastomas. If you can, pray for us.

[@MightyMeatyHealth]

Have you listened to Professor Thomas Seyfried? He has done some excellent work on cancer treatment with metabolic therapies.

Glutamine needs to be balanced aggressively with Glycine, Leucine, Lysine, Cysteine & Essential Aminos. Glycine & Cysteine are critical.

My 18-month-old son was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiform in 1966. It was horrid and the only thing the doctor (Mayo Clinic-related) could do was limit my son to only rice and jello water--no wheat in any form-- and gamaglobulin shots. It disappeared in about two years. His unforgettable final words to me were to watch this carefully if it comes back as it could lead to heart attack, diabetes, or schizophrenia. The rash never returned and I tried to maintain the diet, but as he grew older I moved to a more "balanced" one. My son is now 58 and has suffered unimaginably from severe paranoid and catatonic schizophrenia since his diagnosis at age 16. I have ALWAYS maintained it was gluten-related and my statements have been scoffed at with audible chuckles when I have brought this to the doctor's attention. I have done research on the subject as best a layman can, and will die knowing that his condition is diet related. However, as a non-compliant adult, he eats what he wants. Thank you Dr. Peterson for being a voice of common sense in a truly non-sensible world that we have created.

I’ve been carnivore almost 8mths. I started for gut issues and have cured other lifelong issues I thought were “just me”. As my husband and I dive deeper into the Bible in the last few years, I’m realizing my new lifestyle coincides with what people were eating in biblical times….”and they sat down to meat” As a retired healthcare professional, I was practicing what I preached- ate low fat high fiber for years and was exhausted. I eventually went plant based thinking that would help me feel better- I got worse. For a while, I was in disbelief because I was going against all that my education taught me. My doctor even warned me against it at my well check visit. I’m here today, feeling better than I have in years

[@robscoggins]

Hi Cynthia, I’m not bashing on carnivore or Christianity, I’m a Christian myself. But the word “meat” in the Bible, presumably KJV, simply means dinner. There are plenty of examples of people eating bread, fruit and porridge. If carnivore works for you, that’s great. God bless!

[@mega_n5803]

I don’t eat carnivore but I do eat high protein, high fat, low carb. Carbs I do eat are complex carbs and I go for fruit that is low glycemic index.

Doctors I've talked to were surprised by that.

5 years mostly carnivore and loving it. It can be restrictive and occasionally when I eat out I stray and then regret it for days as the IBS and arthritis kick back in.

But I always feel better when sticking to just meat, butter and eggs.

Carnivore is my baseline diet now upon the Peterson’s and Fradd’s recommendation. I do break it quite often to add veggies and the occasional sugar treat but as long as I come back to meat and fasting my health stays in check.

Since I was about 16 or so I grunted every time I got out of a chair, my knees would buckle and even to my fingers I would feel tight. Some days I could BARELY get out of bed, I was so tired. And my face was constantly red with acne. Oh and the anxiety! I still deal with it, but it so much better now! Going carnivore is one of the best things I have done!

It's not for everyone, but may really help in transitioning away from junk / sweets

I used to work for manufacturing plant where statistics was King. And we would so investigative tests which were controlled but highly anecdotal by public understanding. But they were considered by the industry indicative of what to spend the money on investigating. In fact, we weren't allowed to study anything based off a theory unless there were some preliminary anecdotal tests done first to prove concept of investigation.

I tried eating carnivore and only lasted a day. I eat paleo now and feel that's the best diet for me. Everyone is different and everyone will thrive on a different diet.

Been carnivore for 4 months. Cured my daily intestinal pain and lost 40 lbs. I can't give up coffee (3cups/day) black with 4 drips organic stevia. Hoping its use has no ill effects.

I still eat a little cheese in my omelette, but if I go above that amount I start to stall. So far down about 20lbs in 7 weeks. Tons of energy, walking 5 miles a day, soon to be 7miles. So very satisfied with carnivore diet and will continue until my goals are met.

Diverse eating long term is preferable in my opinion but prob helps body through a short term diet like a month or 2

[@thecrow4597]

As someone who had a lot of autoimmune issues. Including really bad exzema, food triggered anxiety, and very irritable stomach. Carnivore calmed the symptoms but I’ve learned that the initial problem was some other forms of stress that caused the initial issue. You can heal from that and don’t have to be carnivore your whole life. I went from only tolerating meat to slowly over 4 years can eat a normal diet of some fruits some nuts, rice beans etc. initially in 2019 I could barely have any carbs without getting immflamation and rashes. I don’t think staying carnivore is tge way to go. I think you need to try and really change lifestyle factors and then slowly bring back normal foods and keep it very clean and healthy. The issue is the gut gets damaged somehow and has to heal. Early to bed. Low stress, keeping a clean conscience etc. it sounds esoteric but I’ve personally experienced the slow healing and I had very bad symptoms for years. Our modern lifestyles reek havoc on the gut.

[@brittney3156]

Agreed - I think there are dimishing returns at some point. Still life changing.

[@rebeccabriggs2982]

This is exactly correct. For me it's been over a year of trial and error and realising it all stemmed from leaky gut from extreme stress. As I'm healing my life and gut I've reintroduced plant foods. It's also revealed to me an extreme intolerance to oats that was likely causing me alot of issues for a long time. Without carnivore I never would of worked it out. My food list of what I can eat is slowly growing. I think we need to be honest that people with healthy guts do good eating plants. And grateful for high nutrient and healing meat for those of us who really need alot of it. The Bible directs us to eat both so that's been my goal.

Why would I go back to eating poisons if I don't have to though? Check "Anthony Chaffee The plants are trying to kill you" for explanation.

[@sarahherboth9447]

I agree with this approach! The nutritionist Mary Ruddick explains this really well but the goal is to be healthy and not restricted (free to choose the healthy food, not forced by symptoms)

[@PeCo333]

In this point Chaffee isn't right. Seems he believes Sally Norton's BS.

[@rebeccabriggs2982]

Often you can reintroduce some foods. Carnivore is very useful as an elimination diet. After trying about 6 to 7x over the last year to reintroduce oats I know I can never eat them again. But I am eating arugula, carrots, pumpkin, some seeds, small amounts of fruit, sheep feta, a few other plants and recently sourdough and been ok. Its leaky gut that seems the real issue. Meat based is best.

Exactly. The thing is, you don't have to reintroduce anything if you don't want to. After three months of carnivore I realized I don't really crave any plants so I mostly dropped my original plan to reintroduce stuff. 😃

[@rebeccabriggs2982]

I totally agree. I had issues eating almost entirely meat and do better with some plants. If I could eat only meat, I would.

[@JGComments]

Dr. Paul Saladino quit "Carnivore" after long term keto caused him to experience serious muscle cramping and nutrient deficiencies due to lack of insulin signaling. He now eats carbs from a small group of unprocessed foods, including some plants. I hope Dr. Peterson does not run into the same problems, and am glad he doesn't struggle with crippling pain from autoimmune issues.

[@leemanwrong]

I'm pretty sure if he hasnt experienced that in 7 years he should be pretty good.

[@SteveSteve7590-di2dn]

Saladino did carnivore completely wrong. Too much focus on organ meat. Way too little fat intake. Plus he is too active. Carnivore is a natural diet so your activity level should be natural too. Not surfing 5hrs plus workout like saladino does.

[@JGComments]

@@SteveSteve7590-di2dn He still does organ meat by the way lol. And he did a lot of butter and added fats back then too. Also, even the animals we call carnivores eat the digested contents of their prey's stomachs (their herbivore prey) - even THEY aren't actually carnivores.

[@JGComments]

@@leemanwrong I hope so. Seems like almost any diet pattern someone can pick from has both pros and cons.

[@rosethorn0232]

Saladino also aged himself like 10 years since he started eating tons of fruit and honey. I respect his intellectual curiosity to try to find a solution to his issues, but I think he made the wrong choice. The vast majority of people doing carnivore have no need for fruit or honey.

[@samuelgdoubek4228]

what about the animals being fed corn? Or the price?

[@noelleramsey2413]

My body definitely craves a lot of meat, especially when I’m pregnant. However, I disagree with the statement that we don’t need fiber, at least as a blanket statement. Perhaps some don’t. My chiropractor has had me on fiber to help manage my endometriosis for three years, and I haven’t had the problems I used to regarding that disease (and I haven’t done the carnivore diet, so that hasn’t been a factor in the improvement. I am however interested in trying the carnivore diet, especially since I know Cameron has suffered from endometriosis as well, and she is doing so well).

[@jerseyjim9092]

I've done short periods of full carnivore but I doubt I would ever do it long term. I've never noticed any benefit over keto.

[@sirronmitt]

After much research, I started the keto/carnivore diet in February (with a few exceptions when we have guests). I have lost 20 lbs so far and I'm looking to loose 15 more. But I had other issues. I can now make a fist with my right hand, whereas before I could not because of arthritis. It is hard to hold a calf when you can't make a fist. My irritated bowel syndrome is decreasing to almost nothing. Of course I feel better and more energetic. Just putting on my spurs (with that gut in the way) compressed my diaphragm and I would feel out of breath. My chores are easier to do and my blood pressure has dropped 10 mb. If you don't loose weight for your wife...do it for your horse!

I balance out eating beef by eating salmon eggs chicken turkey bacon & cheese. But make no mistake, beef is King!

My recommendation would be, if you choose to try carnivore again: when your body is telling you, I'm sick of meat, just don't eat! utilize your fat for energy.. we don't have to eat every day!

[@grannybaker6281]

You're so right my friend. When I'm really 'wanting something', not my usual carnivore fare, but my sugar and carbs, I know it's just my addiction calling. I push it off and wait until I'm truly hungry for food. Then my ribeye tastes superb, every fatty, meaty bite😋...every time!

@@robertdecker146 Yes. People who have fat to lose in general, not just office workers.. if you have low body fat and work a strenuous job your body probably wouldn't tell you not to eat a steak.. you probably wouldn't be "sick of meat".

How about the dangers of hight cholesterol from just eating meat? I already have high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes and I'm curious about trying carnivor diet but afraid of the risk of heart attack and stroke.

[@squibblet]

good question. this means potentially that your BAD cholesterol is high. bad cholesterol is a manifestation of excess carbs and sugars and usually occurs due in an environment of an imbalanced ratio of Omega-3s and Omega-6s, which is normally 1:1. Saturated fats from animal sources increase the LDL cholesterol derived from VLDL which is GOOD. A high number is great. If your cholesterol level is derived from SLDL (not VLDL) you will have plaques, likely a higher abdominal circumference, and various metabolic and/or immune responses. I also recommend Dr Anthony Chaffee for more precise and concise information regarding Carnivore and Health.

100% grass fed grass finished beef. That’s typically what people go for when they are on carnivore diets. Totally a plus if it’s organic but best to start somewhere.

Depression gone. Anxiety gone. Intestinal pain gone. Hand pain gone.. 22 lbs in 4 months. Apparently my body has to heal, then I drop 4-5 lbs. Husband has dropped 25 lbs in 8 weeks, off all meds except thyroid. This weight 4 years ago he was still on all meds. Carnivore works. New Doctor in Calgary did full blood work on both of us. Best labs in 30 years.. He is fairly new to Canada from South Africa, believes in functional medicine, likes that we are on carnivore.. it has been very hard finding a MD in Alberta who agrees with the diet. My celiac disease shows zero signs, first time in 20 years, and I've bven very strict. It was most likely corn and rice that bothered me. I want to thank Dr Peterson, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee. I never thought my depression would ever be gone.

I realised my hunger signals changed; I don’t feel the same carb hunger, I can say I am never hungry how I used to be but instead I feel a bit weaker and that’s when I know ohh ok, I think I should eat. I feel amazing, I already lost 4kg and I am only 2 weeks in.
